Facts

1) Vitamin Code Raw Antioxidants Quick Facts

Vitamin Code Raw Antioxidants combines a variety of raw food derived minerals, vitamins and other nutrients with antioxidant effects.

Selenium is a mineral with remarkable antioxidant properties. Its special property of replenishing the supply of other antioxidants once inside the body makes it one of the most important nutrients. Research credits Selenium for benefits such as enhanced mood and cognitive function, increased mental clarity and energy levels, as well as cancer-fighting properties.Selenium deficiency is believed to be one of the causes that lead to depression symptoms, poor cognitive function, or memory problems. Also, Lack of sufficient amounts of the mineral may increase the risk of postpartum depression, and Alzheimer’s disease. The daily dosage of Selenium should not exceed 400 micrograms.

Glutathione is naturally synthesized in the live and is responsible for DNA and, protein synthesis, metabolism of toxins, amino acid transport, and prevention of oxidative cell damage. Research on the substance is incipient. Glutathione may help prevent heart disease, memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

3) Does Vitamin Code Raw Antioxidants Work?

Vitamin Code Raw Antioxidants is a blend of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients with powerful antioxidant properties. The formula is claimed to deliver complete Vitamin A complex, vitamin C, vitamin E complex and Selenium along with other antioxidants including Glutathione and Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). Vitamin E is known as one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. Numerous research studies have investigated its ability to fight free radical damage. One randomized, double-blind study was able to demonstrate that regulated intakes of antioxidant medication particularly Vitamin E may help reduce the neuronal damage and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Encouraging evidence shows Vitamin E may delay the onset if not even prevent neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s or dementia. Also, Vitamin E may prevent the thickening of blood vessels walls and prevent the oxidation of bad cholesterol.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme naturally found in the majority of living organisms. This enzyme is a potent free radicals scavenger; hence studies have focused on demonstrating its antioxidant benefits. However, the Effectiveness of oral supplementation with SOD is a matter of debate. Preliminary evidence suggests SOD may be helpful in reducing heart disease risk, detoxify brain cell tissue, boost production of immune system cells, and delay neurodegenerative processes which lead to Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

I think these are expensive, especially since they did nothing for me. I expected to feel better overall, but after one month I noticed no difference. I switched to another formula.

Some dietary supplements work better/faster than others. Usually, we recommend giving a new formula at least 30 days to show the first positive results. Furthermore, each individual is different. While the manufacturer may claim that a supplement will offer immediate results, from our experience, in most cases, that doesn’t work. So please allow at least one month for Vitamin Code Raw Antioxidants to work.
